What are Pets?

Pets are hatchable companions first introduced in Update 1.04. They follow you around the plot and trigger passive abilities at fixed intervals. Players start with three equip slots but can raise that to eight by purchasing slots and ageing pets. Multiple copies of the same pet stack their passive effect.

Pet System Basics

Pets represent a core feature offering players powerful companions that enhance crop production through unique abilities. Players begin with 3 equip slots but can expand to a maximum of 8 slots by aging pets.

Age and Experience

Pets gain experience continuously and must maintain adequate hunger levels to age properly. Older pets provide enhanced abilities including shorter cooldowns and better mutation chances.

Slot Expansion

• Age 20: +1 slot (4 total)
• Age 30: +2 slots (5 total)
• Age 45: +3 slots (6 total)
• Age 60: +4 slots (7 total)
• Age 75: +5 slots (8 maximum)

Hunger Management

Feed pets using harvested crops. Different fruit types affect hunger restoration. Pets with empty hunger bars cannot gain experience.

How to Get Pets

Source	Details	Example Pets
Pet Egg Stall	Common → Legendary Eggs; respawns every five minutes	Cat, Dog, Turtle
Special Eggs	Event-only: Bee Egg, Anti-Bee Egg, Night Egg, Paradise Egg, Summer Egg	Queen Bee, Wasp, Grey Mouse, Capybara
Seed-Shop Promotions	Limited-time Pack Bee bundle	Pack Bee (adds +25 backpack slots)
Free Update Give-aways	Log in during the patch window	Cooked Owl (chance to apply Burnt mutation)
Trading & Market	Buy hatched pets from other players	Any

Advanced Pet Strategies

Levelling & Stacking

• Pets gain XP every minute they're active; hunger drops concurrently
• Feed fruit to refill hunger and prevent ageing stalls
• Owning duplicates stacks passive effects on separate cooldowns
• Max equip slots = 8 (3 base + 5 purchasable/trade unlocks)

Essential Tips

• Ability Stacking: Multiple pets of same type combine effects
• Feeding Strategy: Use high-value crops for better hunger restoration
• Slot Management: Age key pets to unlock more equip slots
• Event Planning: Keep event-specific pets for seasonal bonuses

Inventory Management

Maximum 60 pets in inventory. Strategic decisions needed for keeping, trading, or releasing pets. Consider purchasing eggs without hatching to bypass limit.

Trading Focus

Limited pets become valuable trading commodities. Focus on collecting event exclusives and high-mutation pets for trading opportunities.

Optimization Strategy

Ideal for Bee or Pig armies - stack multiple copies for maximum effect. Prioritize high-mutation pets like Disco Bee (125x) and Butterfly (50x) for profit maximization.
